[Audio Addict]

I wouldn't overthink it on the audiologist. I had mine done by someone not on the list. We just pulled up the instructions from their website to follow and they went by the instructions. I sent pictures before mailing them in and 64audio said they look good. A tech did the impressions, not my doctor. I'll know for sure if they are good soon, my A12's are in the final stages of production.

One recommendation - don't get your haircut the same day you do your impressions. The hair won't hurt anything but it will make your impressions and subsequent pictures not look too hot. Definitely not going to post pictures of them online

Went ahead and scheduled an appointment and dropped off the 64 Audio 2-page guide.

I'm going in this Thursday to get my impressions done. I sent the guide to the audiologist so hopefully we can get it right.

This has possibly been discussed already but....
 
Anyone who has both the B1 and MAM, could you please give a brief comparison of both? 
Do you find yourself strongly favoring one over the other? Are you happy to keep both or would you be ok getting rid of one?

The MAM can achieve everything the S1/B1 brings to the table and more. The S1/B1 is just set at a certain open/closed % of the MAM. At least that's what I've heard. Don't have a MAM yet but will pick one up ASAP when available.

 

[ads1107]

Well yeah that makes sense....
I guess I just wanted to know if owners of both would keep one over the other or worth keeping both? Obviously the MAM is more versatile but the B1 could just be the real sweet spot and force the MAM to stay in the drawer and 'collect dust'.
 
I have the MAM, not heard the B1.

I have all three of the current modules. You can achieve what the B1 does with the MAM. And from what I can tell, I feel that one can get a little get more bass quantity by closing the MAM than what comes standard with the S1. Currently, I mainly have the B1 on my IEMs. It has a very nice sweet spot for the U8s and I also like the aesthetics, because it matches the IEM shell colors. It really comes down to personal choice.

  Any word on those manual modules??!

The MAM and all future modules will be available through the Asius website, rather than 64. We're aiming to have the MAMs up for a mid July release. We're still in Nashville doing research at Vanderbilt with the bubbles in the anechoic chamber, we'll be back at the lab around the first of July. We're super busy working with a number of companies wanting ADEL in their products. I think we can hit the mid-month goal however.

@Canyon Runner, when can you give us more info on the bubbles like how it works, its benefits and when it is likely to be released?

I've explained it at length in this thread if you do a quick search. After you kinda go over that stuff, I'll be more than happy to answer your questions that you still have. I'm sure they'll be more specific and in depth, those are easier to answer. I don't want to give you a copy and paste type response to your genuine question.

I have all three modules with my A12's. For me the MAM was really a WOW moment. I only use the MAM's now and do not use the B1 and S1 module. The B1 module on the A12's was really missing a lot of details in the music. With the MAM's you have control over the exact bass response and the mid's are really crazy!

Look forward to getting my MAMs as well.

It will between A4 or A8. Of course since A8 has 4 lows it should be more. But if you are on a budget, then A4 should match too - signature seems similar in their website.

 
A8 has the strongest Sub-bass, I have the A8.  I can tell you that it has more sub bass than a Headphone Fostex TH900.

I thought the S1 module is the one that missing a lot of details , not the B1?

@ken6217 , is the vacuum pump getting frequent** use? Meaning, do the shells need frequent cleaning with the vacuum?
 
I am planning on getting one if it does need frequent vacuuming. 
 
**By frequent, once every month..
